🌺The land of Bharat is known to be the land of Saints and Gods🌺

It is filled with various types of unexplainable & mysterious things.
In ancient times,various saints, after doing years of meditation, yog saadhna & hard work found the secrets hidden in Vedas about 1000 yrs ago.

The inventions our great sages did were later came to be known as modern science. Some of the saints came out with such amazing inventions that shocked the Kings of those times as well.
Do you know who were the ancient Siddharshis?

Siddharshis were a type of Saints in ancient India who were said to have had many powers and achieved a God-like state through specific secret practices that were known only to them.
These powers were spanned from controlling time and space, to transforming the body, manipulating matter at the molecular level and achieving immortality.

The Siddharshi were the followers of Bhagwan Shiv and according to different texts there were 18 of them.
Their teachings and findings were written in the form of poems in the Tamil language.

There is a debate as to who was the first Siddharshi.
Sone legends talk about Sri Pathanjali but the prevailing tradition refers to Agasthya as the first Siddharshi.
Agasthya Rishi was one of the Seven Saptarishis as mentioned in the Vedic Texts and he was also a 'Brahmaputra' ie 'Son of Bhagwan Brahma'.

Agasthya Rishi is considered to be the author of a lot of the first Siddha literature.
About 96 books are attributed to him and that includes writings in alchemy, medicine and spirituality. Apart from the Legends that exist, the beginnings of the Siddhars' are lost in time.
A famous Siddha was Tirumular, who was a Tamil Mystic and writer of 6th century CE. He was also one of the 18 Siddhas according to the Tamil Siddha tradition. His main work is called 'Tirumantiram', a 3000 verse text, which is the foundation of the Southern Shaiva Siddharta...
...School of Philosophy.

Another Siddha Bhogar (Bhoganathar), who lived between 3rd and 5th centuries CE is said to have discovered the 'Elixir of Immortality'- one of his main works in the Pharmacognosy.
The powers that Siddhars possessed were separated in categories.

The main categories include 8 powers called Ashtsiddhis:

-To become tiny as the atom within the atom ( ANIMA)
It is how Hanuman ji transformed himself into a tiny little being.
- To become big in unshakeable proportions (MAHIMA)
Hanuman ji used this power to bring Sanjeevani Parbat from Himalayas to Lanka.

- To become as light as vapour in levitation (Laghima)
This is how Hanuman ji flew.
- To become as heavy as the mountain (Garima)
There is an incident in Ramayana where Angad tells Ravana to move his foot from the place. But no one was able to do that b'coz it was as heavy as a mountain.

- To enter into other bodies in transmigration (Prapti)
- To be in all things, omnipervasive (Prakamya)

- To be Lord of all creation in omnipotence (Isatvam)

- To be everywhere in omnipresence (Vasitvam)
